Flights to Nordholz, Wurster Nordseeküste from NT$6,240

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Nordholz vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Nordholz a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
